Steph over at Steph Chows made a unique and yummy-looking sandwich with our new camembert!

I had some pumpkin pizzelles left over from my luxury dinner party and was looking around to see what I could have as a snack. After spotting the also leftover figs and Camembert (compliments of Ile De France) I couldn’t resist making a little sandwich.

Natasha – whose fabulous blog is called the Five Star Foodie– recently tried the new Ile de France Normandie Camember and created this delightful mini tarts recipe:

Recently, I received a sample of a new Camembert cheese from Ile De France. The new recipe is made exclusively with milk from herds that graze in the famous Normadie Region of France. The milk is transformed within 48 hours of milking to ensure absolute freshness. It’s delicious and creamy, with hints of nuttiness and wild mushrooms. This Camembert is a great addition to any cheese tasting and is also terrific to use in cooking.

I decided to pair the Camembert with chocolate and made these delicious little puff pastry tarts.

I baked the puff pastry rounds until just starting to get golden, then placed the thinly sliced Camembert on top and baked a little more until the edges of puff pastry were golden brown and the cheese was starting to melt. Then I topped the tarts with chocolate, melted in a double boiler with a little cream and sugar, and garnished the tarts with fresh strawberry slices. This was a delightful dessert that was very easy and quick to make.
